front brake calipers question 89 YJ, NP231, Dana35 When upgrading to a SYE, does the u-joint at the t-case end of the driveshaft change in size? What's the Spicer part number for the u-joint? I'm considering having a shaft built in town (comparing to Tom Woods price) and want to have my...

RE: i yeah, I'm back in jeepz land. I don't remember the last time I was here. My wife and I had a daughter last may. That's consumed much of my time. Anyway, let's get down to business: I got motor problems. When the motor is at operating temp (~195*) and I'm at highway speeds, the...

Tire Size This past weekend I went wheeling in the Hurricane Charley muck. While running through the ruts, my front passenger tire got shoved into a deeper than expected rut and bent that spring. It was taco'ed a little, but I was able to make the 20 mile drive home. So I called Tom Laher...

Yeah, I swapped out my 1.25" lift shackles for my homemade .5" lift shackles this weekend. What? Did you think I mean "lowered" as in ricer level? Right. It's only a .75" difference but I have notice less vibes and my steering is a little more responsive. The 33's still have ample...

I'm getting a locker next month. I want the lunchbox style as I'm putting it in my D35 (non c-clip) and don't want to put too much $ in that thing. So I don't want answers to the other question (should I lock my D35). I already know the D35 is weak. What I want to know is which is better...

Well, I finally got around to swapping out my speedometer gear in the tail housing of my t-case. It was much easier than I thought. I should've done it eons ago. I bought the 35 tooth gear from a guy in my Jeepclub for $5 about 3 months ago. My original gear was a 41 tooth (for 4.10s with...

Does anyone run the Spidertrax Wheel Spacers on their rig? I have TJ rims on my YJ and I love 'em. But the 5.25" backspacing is killing me. At full compression, the rear tires rub the frame! Yes, the frame! And with 5" of lift and 33x10.50s, I need to move the wheels out. But I've heard...

So I'm wheel shopping cause I got rubbing in the rear. I have the TJ grizzly rims and I know that the backspacing is 5.25". What is the back spacing on the 5 spoke Jeep OEM steel wheels? It looks like it's only 4" but I'm not sure. Can anyone tell me for sure? I mean, you are 100% certain...

I've heard of this mod before but want to know more about it. Apparently you can take a TJ 2.5L front exhaust pipe and put it on a 2.5L YJ so the pipe runs in front of the oil sump in the oil pan. What I need to know is, is there any modification required to do this? Does the TJ pipe bolt...

Hey guys. I usually don't venture over to this side of the forums. I own a 1989 Wrangler, but am looking at a 1998 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 5.2L V8, 4wd, 88K miles, $7900. What I need to know is what to look for. Is there anything inherently good/bad about this vehicle that I need to look at...

I stole this from jeepaholics.com, but dang! You think your driveline angle is bad... check this out! Yowsa!

Big Lift 1989 GMC 4x4 "SOLD" Have you guys used this stuff yet? I figure since my old YJ is rollin 165k miles, I'd try the High Mileage oil. That stuff is great! It's like butter in my engine. It claims to help seal the worn rings and pistons that is common with older, worn engines. I'm...

4 tires are Regul Trailblazer A/T with 60% tread left 1 tire is BFG All-Terrain with 10% tread - great full size spare I'll take $100 for the set plus shipping. My zip is 29406 (Charleston, S.Carolina) Corey

I'm thinking about a locker. Question 6 on this webpage http://offroadlockers.com/faqs.html suggests that a front would be best, but I'm not sure. However, they make a good argument. Plus their front locker for D30 is $199. Gimme your opinion. C

What tire pressure should I be running ON-ROAD in my new 33x10.50 BFG M/T? I have the lightweight 4cyl. When Sears installed them, they put 38psi into each. I think that's too high. I dropped the front's down to 34 and the rear to 35 and still think it's too much. Is 30 about right? I...

I'm gonna put one on my 2.5L to help out in the power department. Just curious about how it sounds. I don't mind it being loud, but don't want to sound like a ricer. Know what i mean? C

There's a 2" diameter tube coming from the bottom of my Air Box (2.5L, TBI fuel injection). There is also a hole coming from the exhaust manifold which is about the same diameter. But there is no tube connecting these two. Should they have a tube running between them? Does anybody know what...

HOLY CRAP! :shock: My lift is finally on it's way. I went with the www.HellCreekSuspensions.com lift. Let me tell you why. I originally planned on doing the Rough Country lift for $350/kit. Then I found out about the Hell Creek lift. They use the Rough Country kit, except for the...

Anybody know where to BUY a u-bolt flip kit for the Dana 35 and 30 leaf spring under setup?? Or even what parts I need to fab it myself? I know that I'd need 2.5" square u-bolts, but what about a plate to attach to the top of the axle. Thanks for any help you can offer. C

...but I really need this part. I need an exhaust hanger arm from an early YJ. Jeep doesn't make it anymore and my junkyards don't have it. Please see my post http://www.jeepz.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=320228&sid=7e91f397a35cadd9518599a8a807733e for details. Thanks. C
